Have You Heard of the 48 Corner Bathtub?

Some people imagine a bathtub shaped like a sea urchin and do not worry if your first thought was "no way! I am not installing a weird bathtub like that!"  That is what most people say when they first hear "48 corner tub".  Thankfully a 48 corner bathtub does not resemble a sea urchin or a whacked out shape from geometry class.  A 48 corner tub is simply a corner bathtub—each of the two sides of the bathtub (that touch the wall) is four feet in length.  This might sound like a tub of enormous proportions, but it is actually the standard size for corner bathtubs and, believe it or not it can actually save you quite a bit of space in your bathroom!  Not convinced? Most standard (rectangular) bathtubs measure at five feet long by two and a half feet across.  The 48 corner tub, then, actually frees up a foot of space along one wall while only taking up one and a half feet of space on the other!  Then, because the tub is positioned diagonally across the corner, you are actually able to soak in a larger tub that takes up less wall space! Before you decide that the 48 corner bathtub is the bathtub of your dreams, make sure you test it out at a local retailer.  It is easy to fall in love with the idea of a bigger bathtub that actually saves you space but until you climb into one and get a feel for it, you will not know if it is for you.  Sure you can find pictures of beautiful bathrooms that house beautiful 48 corner tubs, but until you see one in person you will not be able to make an informed decision.  Do you really want to order such an important part of your bathroom without taking it for a (dry and fully clothed) test run?Until you shop for the 48 corner bathtub in person you will not be able to truly decide if it is the bathtub of your dreams.  You might visit your local bathtub retailer and decide that the 48 point tub is awkward and not at all comfortable!  You might opt, then, for a smaller corner tub or choose a bigger "standard" tub and stay away from the corner bathtubs altogether!The 48 corner bathtub offers bathers a luxurious bathing experience while saving them space in what might be an already overly crowded bathroom.  A bathtub that takes up 4 feet of space along two walls of your bathroom might sound far too large for your small space but you will be surprised at how much space you still have after it has been installed! Who wouldn't want to be able to create extra space in their bathroom if they could?
